We don't need any more exchanges until a top 10 exchange approves us.

Besides, we got a verified offer from Cryptopia for 1.5 BTC but our new exchange fund is empty, so we need to start saving up slowly, might take us a year with our lower budget, but hey next Christmas might be really bright for us if we are listed on Crytopia for Christmas of 2019!

Maybe they are leaving to test out A & B.

As far as a release date, I believe we should be done in testnet within 7 more days.  I think we can shoot for Oct 15th or so roughly.

We have a couple things to talk about in testnet:  Clicking on a GUI for Rosetta diagnostics and a different button for Setting up Rosetta, and a question about the initial baby-step of an IPFS rollout.  

I would delay it further, but I'm also prodded to release it in October because we have one business rule in Prod I want to replace that prevents forks (although we have been running very smoothly in prod lately).

I cross compile under the gitian builder, and release those for windows releases.

*** WARNING - MINTNODES ***


I was just taking a look at this site this morning, where we have been listed with Clusternodes:

https://www.mintnodes.com/faq

Mintnodes.com


I have to warn everyone, I don't think this is a very safe operation.  They are concentrating all the deposits into one place, hold all the keys to the crypto, and from what I can see, I don't have any reason to believe they are even creating real masternodes.

At the very least it looks like a way that someone can allow $1 mil to pile up and then they can run away with all of it.

Additionally Im not sure if its legal, because selling slices of nodes may be viewed as selling securities (and that could cause a shutdown for an sec violation).

Imo, we should pull support for this, unless the owner comes forward and proves the funds are stored in a cold wallet and posts the code that creates the masternodes.

You do not need to POW (Heat Mine) to receive PODC rewards.  You only need to ensure your wallet is sending 1 PODC update per day (which is supposed to happen automatically if you leave the controller wallet running).

You cannot receive WCG rewards without having RAH attached and running currently.  That is most likely your problem.

Just attach RAH and start at least one task, limit it if you want, and then things should come back for WCG.

After the next mandatory, the sancs should technically allow WCG only boincing.

Well first of all, I don't really think I want to own theoretically more than 100 sancs, as that would kind of be redicules to maintain.
And I think with the expectation that we will have at least 500 nodes as we mature, that puts me down to a 20% influence level.

Let's stop the lies from Slovakia before they spread like a cancer.  Hopefully people are not dumb enough to believe when he just says things as if they are credible.

TRUTHS THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED:

WE HAD NO PREMINE
I BOUGHT MY COINS ON THE OPEN MARKET JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE
I ONLY MINED 10% TOTAL OF MY COINS (USING 10 HOME SERVERS AND 30 VMS SERVERS) AND HAVE SCALED THAT BACK AS YOU CAN SEE IN MY STATS OVER THE LAST 60 DAYS WHILE I PROGRAM MORE
I BOUGHT THE REMAINING 90% ON THE OPEN MARKET TO START SANCS (IVE BEEN BUYING FROM DAY 1 AND STILL BUY)
I PAID FULL RATE, GENERALLY 1 SATOSHI ABOVE OR BELOW THE MARKET
THIS MEANS MY INVESTMENT IS UNDERWATER BY 50%
YES IT IS MORE THAN $150,000 INVESTED OF PERSONAL FUNDS
I DIDNT RECEIVE .01 CENT OF FREE BBP
I CONTRIBUTED EXTRA TO COMPASSION AND THE ORPHAN FUND
I PAID FOR THE HACK INTO THE POOL (BY PAYING BACK THE BALANCES - THE FEES DIDNT COVER IT)
I PAID BTC FOR THE BINANCE SCANDAL LAST YEAR

Thanks Jaap for the Jump Start.

You should not have to run it manually- I think one way you can track this down is leave your controller wallet run without shutting it down for 48 hours and scan the debug.log for "PODCUpdate" and see what error the wallet throws (this should actually happen within 5 hours from now) as we re-send podc updates every ~4 hours.

I took a look at the WCG data export file (the one that is 4 hours old) and it was missing some data (GZIP threw an error trying to ungzip it).  The problem is fixed now however.

Let me force a rescan in the pool so the superblock view resyncs.

For the first phase Ill probably have QT open a browser window with the download boinc option from the official site, so as to ensure we dont make any config changes to the users machine and preserve trust.  They can click Install Boinc and then come back to the biblepay diagnostic wizard.

MIP is checking on the installer for fun, but I personally dont think its a big deal to have one more click, especially since BOINC could go through upgrades.

The code is already ready inside the core wallet to :  Detect boinc, add account, detect account, attach rosetta, detect cpid, etc.  MIP is working on finding an unattended installer for windows. 

Thanks for offering though.

I havent done it yet, but I heard GIN works something like:  You buy enough GIN to host a node for a year (at a rate of $14 * 12 = $168 in GIN crypto) and then their cryptoplatform runs the sanc for a year and also maintains it for updates.  I believe they have a decentralized wallet.  I have no clue how their virtual machines are connected to wallets. 

If anyone knows Smbbm, could you please tell him to PM me, thanks.   I PM'ed him.  Yobit is looking for him.

Has anyone seen this Post for our Sanctuaries:

I'm very curious if anyone will set one up, and what your experience is with these services.

Yeah, its definitely easier for newbies.  We're thinking of all the people that might come over with no team requirement.

The wallet can now detect:  If/IfNot Boinc is installed, If/ifnot an account exists yet with rosetta, If/IfNot rosetta is attached.  It can create a new account for a user, attach rosetta, and start crunching (as long as BiblePay is running on the same machine BOINC is running on)...  It should be in testnet shortly.

Its a complicated answer.  In wallet versions before 1.1.5.0, sancs needed the RAH CPID first to find the WCG RAC.  (Because the Sancs looked up WCG RAC by the primary key of the RAH user in the contract).  Starting in the next mandatory release (which is not out yet so please dont try this yet, should be out in 14 days we believe) we actually do allow you to have WCG RAC only - and be missing in RAH.

Thats only half of it.  The other half is for new users who have a CPID first in RAH, WCG adapts better to learn your existing CPID (it pulls in and respects the externalcpid field).  Otoh, if you start with WCG only- I can't say if Rosetta will pull your cpid from WCG, this is because IBM's implementation of boinc is the only custom implementation out of the 70 projects, since they rewrote the Web RPC.  It might work, someone should test that situation.

Yes - for the most part.

1. Sign up with R@H, using the same email address that you will use with WCG later
2. Associate BBP wallet with RAH, either by using the GUI Add me as a DC user, or with 'exec associate'
3. Join BBP team on WCG
4. Type 'exec getboincinfo' to ensure your CPID is registered in the wallet.

5.  After about 24 hours, your WCG web panel should show the same CPID as RAH.  If that is true, we automatically pull in your WCG rac.

6.  You can see the WCG RAC and RAH Rac in the pool under the Reports | Superblock Report, look at the WCG column as compared to the RAH column.


I'm actually working on a new screen now in testnet to try to remove all 6 steps (for Rosetta only, in the beginning).  This screen will supposedly only require the user to install boinc, install the wallet, and run the diagnostic screen.

We will be selling 2-3 million bbp on SX today for compassion.

Thanks for the heads up.

I assessed the problem and we are not vulnerable.  (Main.ccp L1263): We always check for duplicate inputs which is slower.  The newer version of bitcoin runs faster, but duplicate inputs are checked in various places (by passing a flag). 

Could you please paste the result of :
exec totalrac

and

exec utxoreport?



EDIT:  It appears you have 2 days of missing UTXOs.  You have to keep the controller wallet running.  If you type 'exec podcupdate true', it should force a utxo out.

If your controller was running before, you can look in the log for 'podcupdate' to see if there was a failure (like a locked wallet, etc).

All,

I just notified Compassion of the cancellation of 206 of our monthly sponsorships.  I asked them to transfer the credit balance remaining on these 206 children over to our remaining 100 children. 

I will update the pool ASAP reflecting the Compassion changes.  You should see 100 children for compassion and 32 from non-compassion later this evening.  Bringing our total sponsored children to 132.
